A fitting climax to carnival week indeed was the Flower Parade and Travel
ing Mens Day which was greeted by the largest and gayest crowd of the week
last Friday and the top sheaf was the parade which raised more enthusiasm
than was exhibited at any time or event of the week
The Holdrege band headed the pro
cession and the traveling men followed
some 75 of them in uniforms of white
yellow and purple white trousers yel
low coats purple hats and umbrellas
They were the most striking feature of
the parade and day
Cecil McMillen followed the U C T
riding his Shetland and looking spick
span in his yellow suit
A band of cow girls gave a touch of
color of bygone days to the parade
Johnnv Morrisseys famous pinto
pony driven by Miss Ethel in their
little road wagon nicely decorated
made a pretty item in the full bill of
particulars It carried the W C T
colors
The Japanese cart containing Miss
EdnaKelley Miss Gladys Fuller and
little Gertrude Snyder was unique and
pretty everything Japanese in raiment
decoration etc
Thec McCormick people attracted
attention with a mowing machine pret
tily decorated and drawn by two

of the carnival patriotic

interests with a float representing a
house in course of erection a neat
scheme well executed
Everybody appreciated the obvious
contrast between the A O TJ W floats
one of which showed the unprotect
ed home with the queen acquiring
curvature of the spine at tho washtub
and the protected home with its evi
dences of comfort and happiness
The M W A carried out just as suc
cessfully and cleverly a similar scheme
with slight differences as to detail all to
the same end showing the very evi
dent advantages of fraternal insurance
E H Doans was the only carriage in
the parade Whiteand red chrysanthe

oration white predominating Miss
Addie Doan Mrs Rov Kleven Tosie
Morrissey were occupants
Yellow chrysanthemums were selected
by Mrs Charlotte Brewer in the decora
tion of her buggy Mrs Walter Stokes

was tho golden rod road wagon driven
by Miss Regina Provance whose skill
fashioned the exhibit

in yellow and white containing a charm
ing bevy of McCook matrons

wagon in white The harness was of
